David Cameron was told to act fast yesterday, after admitting that there are
not enough women in Westminster or in the cabinet.

Speaking on a trip to Delhi, the Prime Minister said there are “not nearly
enough” female Tory MPs, nor enough women at the top table in government. In
every walk of life — from the judiciary to politics to business — he said
“there is a lot further to go”.

He said that it had been his wife, Samantha, who has pressed him for action on
the issue.
